Dividend Pursuit

V Purchase September is almost coming to an end, and with each passing day the market present an opportunity. Mr. Market tend to present opportunity when you least expected. So as an long term investor, we have to be ready when the market present an opportunity and be ready to jump at it. My last purchase was an unexpected opportunity, I plan to eventually buy this stocks, but I did not plan to buy it when I did. Market gyrations and noise should be ignored as an investor. However, when the market is down we should be ready to pull the trigger on purchases we study and intended to purchase.  Now let us see what I purchase recently with my Fifth (5) purchase. Without further ado...here is what I purchase: September 24, 2018 ITW 5 shares @ $145.82 total $729.10 WPC 15 shares @ $64.82 total $972.30 VTR 11 shares @ $54.64 total $601.04 STWD 21 shares @ $21.88 total $459.48 Illinois Tool Works (ITW), recent market gyrations have seem ITW range from $179.00

Part II and September 2018 Purchase Part IV As I closed part one of my September 2018 Purchase II, I realized I forgot to add one stock that was purchase. So I will take this opportunity to make an update on purchase part II and September Purchase IV. I can believe I was able to make four (4) different purchase this month and I was able to add quality stocks with long term track record.

September 2018 III Purchase Part I We are halfway through the month of September, I continue to collect stocks that will be the cornerstone of my Dividend Pursuit portfolio, which will fuel my goal to Financially Independent/Retire Early (FIRE). To that end I collect stocks that have a track record of annually increase their dividend to keep up with inflation. Inflation can erode one's early and purchasing power as the years go by.  US markets tend to present best options to buy stocks with a long term track record and stability. But that does not mean international stocks do not present the same value and record, it is just harder to find and keep them long term. As international markets specially the emerging markets, does not have the same sticker regulations and company structures as USA does. The political instability can also be a major cause of concern. These is why I will stick mostly to US, Canadian, UK, Germany and France companies in general. However, Mr. Mark

Vacation Labor day weekend. September 2018 Purchase II On this somber day of September 11, 2018. A time to pause, ponder and reflect on the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

As the summer came to an end, we took our last vacation this time we visited the beautiful Niagara Falls. It was definitely tremendous to see the nature in person. To experience the water falls and be able to enjoy it with family was a definitely a blessing. The mini vacation does motivate me to continue to build my passive income, so one day I am able to rely and live me life without worrying about the financial aspect of life. We also visited the Niagara Falls Aquarium, which was the highlight for Junior. Ever since shark week, he h

August V Purchase As the month of August came towards conclusion on the last trading day of the month I made two (2) more purchase to end the month on a high note. So without further ado... here is what I purchase: August 31, 2018 QCOM 3 shares @ $68.79 total $206.37 PFG 4 shares @ $55.23 total $220.92 WOW, I keep adding super starts of stocks to my collection. This company not only pay dividend but year after year they keep increasing their dividend payout to keep up with inflation.
